Typically well researched novel by this author, set in the fictional country of Spanish Guiana. It features Lucas, ostensibly a doctor sent by a UK charitable trust to investigate what medical resources are needed by Marxist guerrillas fighting the government in the jungle in the south of the country. The US also has strong interests in the country because of potential valuable oil deposits and is playing off the government against the guerrillas who control much of the oil bearing countryside. Another guerilla faction controls the cocaine industry via peasants growing coca which is more lucrative than coffee. The interactions between Lucas, the guerrillas and a CIA plant are well written, as are the White House scenes with the President and his advisers. ( ) Set in Spanish Guiana 'MAMista' is about a group of Marxist revolutionaries who have grand dreams of overthrowing the capitalist government. The story centres around Ralph Lucas who is sent to Guiana from his foundation in Australia to determine what type of medical aid to provide to the marxist guerrillas fighting the government. Amongst this there is Angel Paz the American academic marxist and a CIA operative undercover in an oil company who is kidnapped by the MAMistas and the need to collect a ransom culminating in a march through the jungle. Not in the same league as XPD but still a decent book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
